Ok, its been brought to my attention that this HAS been posted and beaten to death already. I came across older posts regarding turbo's added to stock VTX's. Turbo's are apparently old news for the 1800 and the futuristic prototype VTX had few admirers so thats probably not gonna be the next VTX generation (if any). Maybe society is just not ready for a continued VTX (imagine if T-Rex's or Magalodon sharks still shared space on Earth with humans!!!). Large predators seem to evolve or disappear but I would have enjoyed seeing the great saber toothed VTX prowl the dealers just a while longer.

I'm just waiting for someone to invent a supercharger for the 1800. I would guess such high compression would blow the cylinder heads apart.

i had seen this a few weeks ago and thought it was a hella sharp looking bike. Notice that its a chain drive vtx I suppose thats done for reliability rather than beefing up the vtx shaft drive. I'd love to see one for sale! :mosh: and why not?

Just an Update on My turbo..
It's in the garage stored for the winter.. But it is still running great.. I have been working on the MAp and I think it's right.. Runs great and I am getting 35 mpg. The Turbo was put on at EFR Racing.. www.efracing.com

Fabulous ride man! I remember hunting everywhere for a reliable turbo kit for my VTX without success some years back. Velocity Racing was the only outfit on the horizon...and they pulled their product just when I was about to commit. I ended up with an IDC dual intake manifold, dual NOS on the rear struts, custom clutch from Barnett, Nology ignition and other upgrades...but I still would rather have had a badassed turbo like yours! I ended up with second bike instead:Triumph Rocket 3 which I'm busily upgrading. Turbo and blower kits for the mighty R3 are happily plentiful and cheaper than that for the X. Blown R3's are producing on average 230-250 hp! Much more, as I've said elsewhere, is possible.

The techno VTX, I believe, made the rounds at the Tokyo shows back in '06. Never released; a big mistake by Honda. Since then, the amazing Sukuki 109 and the tremendous Star lineup have largely supplanted and overshadowed the now dated VTX line. The new V-Max, of course, trumps everything! Check out Mad Max's web site for a look at a blown Max with a huge rear end...330 or 360. Honda has allowed its cruiser line to wither and die while others have seized the initiative and are rightfully taking point!:hmm2: Hell...even Harley's have 6 speeds now!

Reading the threads the Daymaker B appears to be the most commonly recommended retrokit for the VTX. The B puts out 2200 lumens on low beam and the B3 puts out 5000 lumens on low beam. I would think the more lumens the better for visibility, both day and night. Why then is the B the common...

Thanks for anu advice. 1) I've already checked the fuses and they look fine.
After not being on a charger for a coupleof months, rode bike into local town, maybe 6 miles. On stopping I flip off the red power switch to shut off bike but it keeps turning over but at a much reduced rpm, like it was...

Sorry a little long. 1800 / 04
I replaced fork seals about 2.5 years ago. Put 15 wt in them. Initially they both leaked a little. The right stopped some miles later and the left leaked a little intermittently. Long story short after a broken ankle and back up and riding again the left was still...
